Tommie never took a bad picture. And he looked like a teenager in every shot.

He also must've been a hell of an outfielder, because he played eight years in The Show without ever hitting a lick.

Was a Kansas City A before the Mets and an Oakland A after.

A valiant emergency catcher in 1967.

Later

He only recently entered the list of Top Forty Oldest Living Mets, in January when Felix Mantilla died. Now, his spot in 40th place has been taken by Art Shamsky.
